Prominent Manhattan E.R. doctor on coronavirus front lines kills herself



A prominent Manhattan emergency room doctor who had treated a staggering number of coronavirus patients killed herself in Virginia, authorities said Monday.

Dr. Lorna Breen, 49, the medical director of NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital's emergency department, committed suicide in Charlottesville, a spokesman for the local police department told the Daily News.

Spokesman Tyler Hawn said police responded to a call Sunday seeking medical help, and Breen was rushed to UVA Health System University Hospital but succumbed to self-inflicted injuries.

"She gave what she had, and she's a casualty of the war in the trenches, as far as I'm concerned," her father, Dr. Philip Breen, told The News. "She's a true hero."

Breen's father said the crush of coronavirus cases his daughter handled was overwhelming, and that she herself became ill with COVID-19, though she went back to work after a week and a half. She had no history of depression, he said.

"She was a very outgoing, very energetic person who, I don't know what snapped, but something blew up in her, and so she ended up taking her own life," he said. "She just ran out of emotional gas."

Doubt that was the motive. It seems she felt hopeless with regard to her position and her surroundings.

[GLOCK]

Not her going back to work in the middle of her fighting the disease herself

um
she probably killed herself because she know she contributed to people getting the mess from her and probably dying 

guilt

That is a disgusting comment
Do you know some people have to stay asleep for 4 weeks to recover?
People lose family/friends and can't even have a decent funeral
Patients can't have family/friends over, cant say goodbye and die alone
People get hire fevers and get hallucinations that can really cause emotional damage
People who had the virus still need to recover because their muscles became very weak, some have to learn to walk again
Patients have a great risk of ptsd and burnout
Doctors who help patients often have to live separated from their family, encountered more patients/deaths than 9/11, have to wear protective gear that is really painful for the face

The list continues
This is not a joke

[Annie]

She survived Coronavirus and killed herself anyway?

I bet her body and mind was exhausted
There is a big chance there has to be special help clinics for ex corona patients with emotional and physical damage. A lot of them also can experience PTSD. I'm sure after high fevers with hallucinations there is also a bigger chance for patients to end up with psychosis and depression.
